About the event

Cyber security isn’t only for people who work in IT or might be good with computers.

When cyber criminals target your service or the people who use it then you and your staff become the last line of defence.

Find out more about the cyber risks associated with health and social care environments at this free event for managers, supervisors and learning and development workers. Social service workers, either now or in the future, will have access to digital devices as part of their job. Your workers need to know how to protect and safeguard these devices and the information they have access to. It’s even more important that managers and supervisors are aware of the risks to their organisation and the actions they need to take in the event of a cyber attack.

The event offers ideas and resources you can take back to your workplace and embed into your organisations learning and development strategies. Participants will leave more aware of the existing threats to services and individuals and with a strategy to increase the resilience of their service to these.
This will be a highly interactive event, where you will be able to role play in a live scenario exercise simulating a serious cyber-attack on a care service.

Refreshments and lunch provided.
